Paintball thread!
 

Let's have a thread where we post pictures of our paintball guns and give abit of a description (No Airsoft.) If you post mil-sim guns then I warn you, you will be mocked.
The pictures I post are not my guns..but pictures of the guns I have that I found while at work. (i'm bored) I'll post pictures of my specific guns later.

http://www.paintballgames.cz/BAZAR-FOTO/reflex.jpg

Dye 2k4 Reflex Autococker. Candy Apple Red. Hyper RegII. Mechanical (Pimp). Freak barrel (Trying to find a candy apple red, I don't wanna anodize.)

http://www.anythingxtreme.com/pimage...P-Sh03UltV.jpg

Smart parts '03 shocker (I bought it the day it came out.) Black. 15 Deg ASA adapter. Old school shocker Gasthrough (The one with the barrel plug on the end, how pimp is that?) Talon Snatch Grip. Nasty trigger. High Efficiency bolt. Dye Sticky grip. Heavy board modding. (26+bps.)

Re: Paintball thread!
 

i cant post a pic, but i have a tippman 98 with a foldable stock, 18 inch barrel, and double trigger. i go paintballing as much as i can at PEVS in leesburg. this is probaly the best sport ever.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Do you wear camo?

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I have a Spyder Fenix ACS with an eighteen inch barrel. I can fire as fast as my friend, and he has an Angel LCD, which is some 15 bps :x . Sometimes I use automatic, and he says my gun sounds like an MG-42. I like the Fenix because it's heavy and recoils a lot for a paintball gun. I'll get pictures if possible.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Er uh what's a mil-sim gun? Military Simmulation?

By the way those look very nice.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

yes i do and a dye long sleeve blue shirt

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I just got a Fokus but i havent been able to afford upgrades yet :P

Re: Paintball thread!

thats my favourite paintball weapon!

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Forgot to post, but I wear full camo and "jump" boots. I had a hat, but its gone now...

One thing I'd really like to try, is a paintball musket >: D

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Camo is so lame. it's all about speedball. I have some pictures of my guns coming but I need to find a place to post them on the internet.

The Fokus was my first paintball gun. It's awesome and gangster at the same time.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm sorry, but I don't enjoy wearing brightly colored jersey's and pants. I'll stick with my BDU's, thank you very much.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

the pro jerseys arent for camoflauge. its too protect you from the impact of the paintball. o and paintballs are all made out of eatable materials. the shell is made out of the same material as gummy bears and the paint is all water. so when your hungry, and nothing to eat, just sit on the couch and pop paintballs into you mouth.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Once there was a guy who had eatable paintballs, they were strawberry falvored O_o

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I like the brightly coloured Uniforms. They're nice and show you have balls. Paintball is a game of skills, and more aligned to extreme sports. It's not a war simulation game. The bright jersies really don't have much protection though. But some of the pants (Dye C4, Angel) have extra padding and such. (Some have built in knee pads and jocks.)

Re: Paintball thread!
 

yes paintballing is more of a game of skill then anything else. i have seen people with rentals beat people with 2.000 dollar guns cuz they are better. but they do reanactments of WW2 with paintball guns and the paintball guns are put up to their highest velocity. people wear authentic uniforms and the paintball guns are modelled. i have seen modelled mp40's, mg34's, thompsons, BAR's, FG42, and many more. you can buy these WW2 paintball guns but it costs as much as a big screen TV.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

hehe...it would have been nice to have WW2 paintball guns, but I would much rather have airsofts since they can achieve a higher degree of realism (you even can get small 6mm paintballs to use in airsoft guns).

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Good Airsoft is for Mil-sim

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I just started playing paint ball a lot this year, i got a tippmann 98 other than the stock it is un-modded. I have fallen in love this this sport and go every chance i get.

http://www.the-paintball-shop.co.uk/...g%5Ctipp98.jpg
I wear some old hunting camo i have cuz i amost always play out in the woods, the people who wear camo have a big advantage when we play in the forest. We play in open woods, open fields and places with heavy thick under growth. We also build a lot of defensive positions like bunkers and such in the woods we play in that are open for anyone to jump into during a game. I think it is a lot more fun to play in the woods than playing on an airball course. Matches in the forest usually take much longer because everyone is moving real quietly hunting for the other team and there is lots of cover, they also involve more strategy IMO.

I accually just played yesterday, we had a bunch of good 3v3 matches. It looks like i have like 8 nipples cuz of all the bruises on my chest, one guy just opened up on me with his full auto A5 form like 20 feet away.http://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/pwned.gif

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Its mayb a bit of-topic, but whe have our clan meeting this year, and we paintballt for a day. i think its realy cool, only we played against realy realy realy bad players.. the just capt runing when the wher hit.. but its quit cool to meet your clanmates after 1 or 2 years :eek: ..

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Do you guys really like to pretend you're in the army that much? I'm not really for the whole pretending to be military thing. Especially because I always rip those fools with the A-5s that think army tactics works in paintball.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

actually they do work if your in a group of people who know how to paintball. for example one time i went to this huge game that spanned the whole play area for like 12 hours. and i was with a bunch of guys i didnt even know in a field of long grass in a staggered formation. we used our eyes and ears only and used hand signals to warn. well i saw a line of players from the enemy team moving towards us, so i gave the signal to stop, get down, and lay donw in the long grass. one of the other players almost stepped on me, but once they got far enough i gave the signal to get up and my little band of brothers all stood up and shot em in the back. we then secured the area and kept moving.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Well you keep playing army boy and camping out for twelve hours in the woods. As for me I'll stick to my 30 second to 5 minuite long speed ball matches where I can put my skills to the test. Speed ball is basically just a skill field where you can refine your aim, test your snap shooting, slide, lane, bunker. Oh god it's so fun. Believe me your little formation would either be laned or simply snap shot off one by one. If you don't believe me I've seen people who play speedball for so long that they can take out an entire team single handedly without even moving. I know one guy that actually doesn't even use cover anymore, he just walks the field.

Another guy capped me while he was drunk, high, and on his cell phone. Because of his superior snap shooting I couldn't hit him.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

dont get me wrong i love to play hyperball, but going out into the woods gives a little more realism

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Paintball isn't supposed to be realism. Because it's not made to copy guns. Paintball is ment to be a game of skill, not a simulated firefight.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

well if you notice we are using GUNS of some sort. i just like more open areas to use some kind of tatics. i like to use trees for cover, run across a stream dogding paintballs, and take cover behind natural barriers.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

whe dont want to play for ''army-boys'' , we just wanted to meet echother, and paintball lookt like a cool id, becose it have to do somthing with war..we had a great day.
realax dutes..

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Paintball is supposed to be a method of marking cattle that's going to end it days, and become beef.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Lol, origionally maybe, way back when. But the inventors of the actual sport called it the survival game. And that's completely differant from the paintball that's played today.

Now there's pretty much three kinds of paintball, maybe four.

Speedball/Hyperball-

The fairest type of paintball. Played at close range with lots of colour. Skills make you a good player. I've seen people with Tippmans snap shoot guys with DM5s and Force Four Flies. Usually a capture the flag push mode.

Scenario Games-

Objective based games simmilar to woods ball such as Quest for the Holy grail, and D-Day. Military fans here will be annoyed by the fact that most people dress up crazy for these things. I've even seen gorilla suites.

Big Games-

A big game of woods ball, simmilar to a scenario game but less structured and objective based. May last for several days.

Woods Ball-

The real milsim style of hiding in bushes. Pretending your a sniper, and copying tricks you've seen in movies so that way the guys in the pink and purple jersies with faster guns can laugh at you while they rip you. Money wins this game. Camoflauge, Ghille suites, and the faster the gun the more you win since there's effectively little cover.

Games that involve ob

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Comrade0red some people get enjoyment out of different things than you do, just accept it. I never played speed ball or hyperball but I've played Woods ball a few times and it's great fun. I think it's much more fun to move slowly as a team and give eachother cover while others might like to have real short explosive rounds similar to Quake or UT deathmatches on your PC.

That's me in the background with rented cammo suit and paintballgear. It's been a while since I played because it's freaking expansive. 25 euro's for the gear and than 50 euro's for the paint for 3 hours of fun.

PS. no we weren't drinking during the game.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

The whole idea of Speedball and hyper ball is cover. You use your own skills to hold down your own part of the field while using team work to bring your frontmen and midmen up. Teamwork makes and breaks speedball games.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

That's basic squad tactics. It's called "bound and overwatch". Funny how when you use squad tactics your "Skilled" and when the majority of the people here who seem to like "Woods ball" as you called it, use squad tactics they're "Army boy" as you say. You really are full of it sometimes. You should try to make a positive statement about your sport of choice without insulting everyone else's.
Your both playing the same game just with different parameters. There version sounds like FH your version sounds like B42. Realism vs. Arcade. Both have there good and bad points.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I wasn't talking about bound and overwatch being skills. I was talking about snapshot being skills. In woodsball you may get a chance to Lane or snap shoot once per game. Speedball is just all those skills being used constantly.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Okay you’ve definitely got my interest in paintball up, and I get your point about wanting non-stop action. I know you have better than average skills or hand eye reflexes, because you http://www.gamingforums.com/images/smilies/pwned.gif my ass on Trois Ponts the other day. I’m average so the fact that I could cross the river shoot 3 guys to the left of you, kill the guy to the right of you, only to be shot by you not once but twice was very “Grrrrrr”.

Now with all the “huggy” crap out of the way don’t you think “Snap shooting” (http://www.splatmagazine.com/snap.htm great article by the way) and it’s use is exactly the same as “Suppressive Fire”? You snap off according to the article three rounds or so to keep your opponents pinned. That’s “Suppressive Fire” in a nut shell. Now the reason I brought up your skills, is because It all comes down to the guy with gun and how well of a marksmen he or she is. Better the shot, better the snap.

Of course better weapons make a difference as well, and I’m guess Mil-Sims aren’t as good as what your packing.?

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm going to play Paintball in two weeks for the very first time. Is there anything I should know in order to survive more than 30sec and at least shoot one person?

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Snap shooting isn't about supressive fire. It's about being able to take fast aim. Paintball is also major hand eye co-ordination while computer games are minor. And there is a differance. Otherwise all CS players would be awesome at football and soccer. Or atleast handball.

Snap shoting is being able to bob out of your bunker quickly, and let off usually one or two shots. Idealy you can hit opponents while still moving. It's usually not about supressing though it's kind of a gun fight thing. People don't snap shoot when supressing because they already control that lane of fire. Snap shooting is how you win over and take control of a lane of fire and capture angles.

And I don't think I have played trois points for a while, but maybe.

Komrade B the important things to remember is that your gun really cannot shoot that far. Paintballs don't go straight. Get as close as possible. And be brave. They don't hurt and bravery is really rewarded. It's important not to have fear of being hit. Fear is what stops alot of good plays from taking place.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I guess i'll use my PPsh techniques from FH :p

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Bunny hopping rules in paintball. GET CLOSE. If you get really close to players they'll probably be afraid of you. Even if you get shot you'll get lots of people out. Another important move to know is Choking. Run straight to their building or bunker where they can't see you and then quickly move around the side while firing. Your should hit the wall because you'll be preshooting to actually hitting them.

Fight for lanes of fire before you fight people
Getting someone to put their heads down is all you need to win. Never stare around a corner. Make quick bobbing motions in and out and try to shoot while you do this if you're trying to win a lane of fire.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

another thing to remember is to keep moving and dont stay in the same place for more than a minute. if you arent being commanded then command the people around you and take intiative. if you are playing objective maps teamwork will win. a person that goes rambo might get a few people our, but will get himself out. use simple commands like "movie there!" "covering fire" "move out" "you there watch our backs and make sure they dont flank us" etc. etc.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Ah snapping shots on the run. I see now?. Your still suppressing your opponent and moving up. Just because you have good aim doesn't make it somehow different. Just more accurate. The one thing you've said that I can agree with is that playing hyper ball gives you more chances to hone your skills. Thus making a more formidable player. From everything else I've been reading and heard so far it the same old tactics just new names. Although now I really want to try it!

Maybe my ASS! The Wednesday before last to be exact. At around 8:00 pm pacific time to be more exact. If it wasn't for you I would have crossed that river and raised hell. Like I said it was a very "Grrrr" moment.

Oh and for the record hand eye is 90% of it, when it comes to shooting. I shot expert in the Army for 8 out of 9 years.http://www.gamingforums.com/images/smilies/winkx.gifNot that that will help me when I being pwn3d by a bunch of young bucks with paint guns.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm not talking about snapshots on the run. That would be impossible. I just mean you can fire while you're still bobbing in and out of your bunker. So that way you never stop the actual motion to aim your shot. Let's find a picture no?

http://www.warpig.com/paintball/tour...llery/a-t1.JPG

Here is a person who is not snap shooting. He is merely hanging out the side of his bunker like an oaf and being a general moron. He's likely to get hit since he does not have quick access to cover.

http://www.splatmagazine.com/gap/snap.jpg

Here we see someone in firing position for a snap shot. He has quickly leaned out of his bunker (The inflateable thing) and fires one or two shots. Then he quickly leans back in. This way he quickly is behind cover before he can be reacted to.


For other stratagies and tips I recommend.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Thanks for the link, I can't wait to try it.

Do you know what converter the "snap ring" is all about and why it's considered cheating? When I was researching snap shooting it came up a few times but no real description as to what it is.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm not sure what a snap ring is. Or what you mean by converter. But I probably know it by a differant name. Explain what you mean by converter.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Here check out this article
http://www.warpig.com/paintball/tech...ew/index.shtml
My mistake it has nothing to do with the snap ring and ram. This article explained it better. They change the rate of fire on the circuit boards to counter good snap shooters apparently.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

Nice. Cheating is an integral part of paintball. All good players cheat. There's all sorts of cheating. From ramping boards to bunker pre shooting, it's all pimp.

Ramping Boards- Boards that put hidden bounce (extra balls being fired) inside your rips. This effectively increases the BPS that you can pull. The more shots fired the more hidden bounce.

Belly slide/Knee slide- Got shot in the stomach? Got shot in the knee? Oh well simply slide on your belly or on your knee and whipe that paint off.

Bunker Preshooting- Shoot your bunker as you run up to it and if you're hit in the hopper just shipe it up against the paint that you shot on the bunker as you pretend to play the other angle. When the ref comes over tell him it came off the bunker.

Distraction- Call a ref over for a paint check (Checking if you got hit) after you're hit and not seen by the ref. Tell him to check a part of you that hasn't been hit and this way he'll lose suspicion.

A good back player knows the differance from being hit, and being called out.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

OMG i hope you are joking. lol.

It sounde like you are a real serious player comrade0red, i just play for fun with friends on land they own, we dont have any pre-determined stratagies or tatics (beisded you guys go this way and we will go that way sort of stuff), we will yell stuff out while we play and give hand signals but most of the time we just fight it out.

I know i would be a better player if i thought about all that stuff you said about lanes and angles and all that but i just go by instinct and like you said you have to be as brave as you can, that will help you in more ways than you would think. THe brave player will almost always control the shooting lane.

I played speed ball on those inflatable courses a few times and i just did not have as much fun as when i play in the woods. I like to hunt for my victims a little first and i like how you can use almost anything for cover in the forest.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm serious. Try bunny hopping you'll whallop the shit out of your opponents.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

You say it works eh? I dont see how it would help besides making your opponets say 'what the hell is he thinking?' most of the time i am shot in the body or arms, i dont see how jumping will help.

What the hell it is worth a shot i guess, althought i think i will find just flat out sprinting to work better, it will make for a good laugh at least. :)

Re: Paintball thread!
 

I'm not talking about bunny hopping from point A to point B, but try it if you're caught out in the open with someone in a firefight.
If they're not going in their bunker, spray at them and jump, it usually scares them into hiding back into their bunker, then you run for your own bunker.

(In paintball a bunker is any type of cover)

Re: Paintball thread!
 

On Saturday, I was trying out my brothers friend's paintball pistol (an Aryicon Overlord), and I bunkered two people with it.

Re: Paintball thread!
 

They must have been really bad players. It's pretty hard to bunker someone with a paintball pistol. Are you sure you know what bunkering is. It's pretty well choking them.
